Proof that Ninjitsu doesn't work against singular attackers.

Ninjutus fighting in a mma competition is like a boxer going into a TKD tournament and only being allowed to kick, he can’t use any of his arsenal, strategy or anything learned through the art. but if you do ninjutsu and want to do this type of competing simply you must train in their ways, and seriously. Real ninjutsu is for self defense and self protection , not an mma match .there are so many differences. For example I have a BB in Ninjutsu, but have been out of it for at least a decade ,and also train in sport fighting. As you can see from the clips

I've trained in Bujinkan Ninjitsu for a little bit over ten years ago. I did not see anything that implied ninjitsu in that footage. Both fighters were using MMA style.
Granted, in pretty much every YouTube video of martial arts fights/sparring, once the gloves go on, all distinct styles fade away leaving only kickboxing and/or mma techniques.
Furthermore, you can't judge the validity of an entire style based on one or two examples. Everyone fights, trains, and improve at different rates. You have great CMA fighters and you have poor CMA fighters. You have great MMA fighters and you have terrible ones. Great ninjitsu fighters and terrible ones. So on and so forth.

There is no such thing as Ninjitsu, thankfully there doess not seem to be any shortage of people who like to walk into MMA gyms saying they are ninjas.

Tell Hatsumi, and Shoto Tanemura .”um excuse me Mr. Hatsumi and Tanemurua there is this guy in America he says your 900 year old tradition doesn’t exists on a kung fu message board” Judo is just a myth too.

What you mean to say is that what passes for ninjutsu nowadays has very little (if anything) to do with the ninjutsu training of the Koryu systems.

how would you know, were you around hundreds of years ago to see what they did? Hatsumi, and Tanemura are not some wack job running around in a ski mask and hiding behind bushes in their back yards. Hatsumi is a proven grandmaster of several styles, so even though some organization didn’t recognize his ninjutsu styles as legit cause he couldn’t provide some scrolls doesn’t mean ****. If a style is 900 years old and secret, than it makes sense he wouldn’t have the scrolls in his possession. I studied Tang Soo Do for 7 years when I was younger,and had a certificate for a 1 gup rank, but don’t have it now. does that mean I didn’t learn Tang Soo Do?
